This piece is in good antique condition, showing beautiful honest wear and character consistent with its age and historical use. The wood retains a gorgeous luster with minor surface scuffs and veneer missing in the odd spot. (Tried to show in pictures)
The purple velvet lining remains vibrant and structurally intact, showing light cosmetic aging that adds to its authentic period charm. Brass hardware is secure and functional.

Another amazing find here. I have kept it with its patina but cleaned it up.

This is an early 19th-century, circa 1810–1835, gentleman's mahogany counter shaving stand.
It features a circular two sided mirror plate mounted on an adjustable brass column which still works perfectly.

The base is made from mahogany and includes two lift up wings with original brass handles for storage.

I’ve not seen any of these in this good condition for this price in a long long time.

There’s foxing on one side of the mirror which is to be expected with its age.

This is an absolute bargain at £125.

Any questions please ask.

Good afternoon all.

Here’s a few vintage finds to whet your appetite. These would be great in a bar as accessories or even a man cave or library.

I’m working on some more furniture at the moment and a few other pieces too.

Please message for any interest. £££ in the comments on each piece.
